Works By Reicha/ Beethoven |

Description: | "Beethoven and Reicha are both composers born in the year 1770. They met in Bonn and even played together for several years in Bonnâ??s orchestra pit. The Concert de la Loge takes the opportunity of their 250th birthday to pay them a tribute, with this recording that brings together Beethovenâ?? Septet op.20 (for an atypical string quartet with violin, viola, cello and double bass, plus clarinet, horn and bassoon) and Reichaâ??s Grande Symphonie de Salon no.1 (for string quintet, oboe, clarinet, cor and bassoon).
These hybrid works are situated at crossroads between chamber music and symphony and reflect the taste of experimentation of their composers. The sophisticated instrumental lines of Beethovenâ??s work meet here the great orchestral charism of Reicha, whom Berlioz hailed as a â??true revolutionaryâ? when he was nominated at the head of the Académie des Beaux-Artsâ??s music section. Julien Chauvin and his musicians offer here a double-portrait album that allows us to hear the
similarities between French and German musical aesthetics as well as the relative singularity of these audacious works. Their musical rigor doesnâ??t take away the fantasy that lies within it, even in chamber pieces, and one can only acknowledge the orchestral virtuosity that stems from it." - WORKS BY REICHA/BEETHOVENRecorded in February 2019. |
